Tomato - Emerald Apple

The Emerald Apple tomato is a unique heirloom that truly lives up to its name. Fruits are medium-sized and round, resembling small green apples hanging on the vine. Their skin ripens to a rich, deep green with golden undertones and sometimes a faint blush of amber when fully mature. The flesh inside is juicy, vibrant green, and bursting with flavor—a perfect balance of sweet and tangy that makes it a standout for fresh eating or salads.

The plants are vigorous and productive, with clusters of these jewel-like tomatoes nestled among lush green foliage, giving the garden a look that’s both ornamental and abundant! Indeterminate
